Will either void my factory warranty? I'm going to level soon was just wondering if for some reason the stealership would give me a hard time if for some reason there was some random problem with the front end. Not trying to take over the thread btw. Lol

Ok thanks. I haven't heard of anyone having any problems with the front end with just bills, so hopefully I won't be the first one to.

As others said Bils are best. I am happy with mine at 2.1 and even fit 295/65's... but can't wait until I do a 6" lift.

Bilsteins are what I'd use. I they hadn't been on backorder when I bought my level I would have put them on!

I brought in my own Bil's to the dealer and had them installed so it wouldn't void my warranty. If the warranty is void, they did it.

If you don't mind me asking, what did that run you having it done at the dealership?

I too would like to know cost and if you did Bils at all 4 corners.

Maybe, it's a toss up of want over need. I'll be sitting on the stock ones for a while, but I think I'm settled on Bils at 2.1
